Kids Merry Christmas Layout

Kids Merry Christmas Layout

#artdecocreations #couturecreationsaus #ultimatecrafts

Hi
everyone! It's Julie here back on the blog today sharing a Chrismtas layout created using papers from the "It's
Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" Collection by Ultimate Crafts and dies from the "Let Every Day Be Christmas" Collection by Couture Creations. I wanted to make a fun layout which is quite a challenge as these papers are very formal. But I managed to make it all work to compliment the photo of my nephew Matty at his daycare Chrismtas party :)

I've taken the green plaid patterned paper from the 12x12 paper pack and a piece of Ultimate Crafts Battle Fatigue cardstock to use as the base for this layout. The cardstock has been trimmed down so you can see the plaid paper behind it forming the border. I then used some Anna Griffin Texture Paste with the Be Merry Holly Flourish stencil and randomly stenciled around the area where the photograph and embellishments were to be placed. I've also randomly stamped two images from the To Be Jolly 5x7 Embossing Folder and Stamp Set in green and red ink to add some more interest to the background.

I took some scraps of the same plaid patterned paper and some of the deep green snowflake paper and cut them into random sized pieces to form a mat for the photo. These were all inked with red ink for some contrast. I die cut a Snowflake Doily from some Ultimate Crafts Shamrock cardstock which I cut down and placed around the photo. The sprigs were die cut using the Pine Needles Die Set with some DieCut&Bond tape placed onto cardstock. I removed the backing and adhered with some Green Mirror foil. I've die cut some red glitter cardstock using the Winter Corner Die and Merry Christmas Sentiment Die and the flower was sprayed with red spray ink. Some gems and pearls scattered around the layout and we're done! :)

About me

I originally come from an IT background having spent 22 years in the industry. I started scrapbooking in 2011 when Mum and I attended a beginner's class to start a new hobby. Since then, I've done Off the Page items, card making, accredited with both Spectrum Noir and Copic, mixed media and more recently art journaling.

My scrapbooking style depends on what type of products I'm using at the time. It can range from clean and simple, colourful and bright, shabby chic to mixed media. I like to challenge myself and apply new techniques to projects wherever possible so I don't fall into the trap of only creating one particular style.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and have a look around. :-)
